I just wanted to pass this on....
During my yearly "in depth" check on my truck I found 3 leaking wheel cylinders. I always pull the inspection covers, push on the wheel cylinder cups and using a pair of long 45deg needle nose I pull down on the bottom of the cups. To my surprise, 3 of the 6 wheel cylinders on my truck had brake fluid in the cups. There was only a little fluid which equated to NO notable drop on my remote reservoir fluid level! I rebuilt all the axles and complete brake system only 4 years ago. For those who do not do a yearly inspection or walk rounds (crawl around) every time you get into your truck, PLEASE start this practice.
